Mounir Nasraoui, father of Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal, sees glimpses of the great Zinedine Zidane in his son, comparing Yamal’s natural abilities to the legendary playmaker’s.
Despite his son’s remarkable impact on the field, Nasraoui insists that Yamal’s potential is still largely untapped, with only “20% of his ability” revealed to the world so far. This season, Yamal has established himself as an essential part of Hansi Flick’s Barcelona squad.
His presence on the pitch has been instrumental in the team’s success, as highlighted by the fact that Barca’s two league defeats occurred when he wasn’t in the starting lineup.

“For me, he is a number 10, not a winger. He has the skill and mentality to play in the centre, behind the striker, like Zinedine Zidane,” Nasraoui told France Football, as quoted by Goal.

This setback made his absence keenly felt in an unexpected defeat for the Catalans.
Barcelona has since confirmed that Yamal will be out for “two to three weeks,” with this timeline corroborated by Fabrizio Romano.
